When is your ride coming out of storage?
For those of us who winter store, when are you taking off the wraps? I have full insurance ( road portion ) starting April 1st and first nice day hitting the road.
Stratford is sweeping the streets and with the rain, salt will be a distant memory. This Covid 19 has really reduced activities making the first ride of the season even more special. |

I'm here in Michigan, and I'm about ready to pull mine out. I want to burn out the first tank of fuel with the stabil in it, and do the yearly oil change. Although, there may be nothing to do in the weeks to come (because of this virus) at least I'll be ready if and/or when car season does come lol

Up here in northern NY hopefully by the first or second week of April. That is of course if we don't get any more snow and requisite salt/sand between now and then.
There won't be anywhere to go because of the virus but just driving around is a joy in itself. |

I’ve had my car out twice in the last couple weeks. Roads were clean and dry after a good rainfall the day before so I felt ok to take it out. Got a tank of gas and hit the highway for a couple exits.
Now that we are all quarantined pretty much I think it’s important to get out for a ride to keep ourselves from going insane. |

I live in San Diego but it hasn't been great weather lately (well we love getting the rain because we need it so badly, but rain is NOT "Camaro Weather", at least not for my Camaro!) Finally took it out today after a couple weeks (and after the 500 mile oil change) and stretched her legs and let the ponies sing a little... Damn that GMP Cold Air Intake and NPP Dual Mode Exhaust sounds great when you put your foot into it!

I always aim for April 1st (weather permitting and as long as we’ve had a couple good salt removing rain falls)

Wheels polished to remove brake dust, another coat of carnuba, top and interior vacuumed, polished engine ( can you tell there is little to do with the current state of things) and its a beautiful sunny day. 0° C though. Soon. |

I think I might go for a rip today. It’s nice out. No salt on the roads.

Pretty soon, seems like the weather here in New England is starting to break. But I’m not taking the car out until I install the new Powerstop Z26 pads I recently bought . I can’t take another year of brake dust because I drove 1 mile to the country store up the road... the stock pads are just ridiculous with the amount of dust they throw off.

So much for my ride. My daughter and I made it about three blocks then I noticed white stripes on the road. The friggin brine trucks had sprayed the roads. I turned around and went right home and parked her👎🤬
